Mike Harris, Zonoff
Mike's most recent start-up, AnySource Media, was launched in 2006 and delivered a 4X return to investors 18 months after investment, when it was acquired by DivX in August of 2009. In June of 2010 DixX was acquired by Sonic Solutions, which in turn was acquired by Rovi (NASDAQ: ROVI) six months later. The original embedded software developed by AnySource still serves as the foundation for DivX TV, which can be found on LG's line of connected Blu-Ray players. (Click here to see the actual DivX TV demo.) Just as AnySource provided core technology for "connected TV," Mike's vision for Zonoff is to provide the core technology for the "connected home." Same concept… but a much bigger opportunity.
Early in Mike's career, he was the founder and CTO of Ravisent Technologies Inc., a technology pioneer in the DVD industry. Ravisent won numerous business and technical accolades including Frost and Sullivan's "Excellence in Strategy" award, the "Technology Pioneer" award from the World Economic Forum, and the Deloitte and Touche "Fast 500" award. The company won this last award three times, including one year when the company was ranked number 1 in its region and 9th nationally. Mike oversaw the development and adoption of Ravisent's technology by leading PC and consumer electronics manufacturers, raising nearly $100M in venture and public financing, and ultimately achieving a $1B valuation on the NASDAQ market. Ravisent was ultimately acquired by STMicroelectronics, and Mike became its Group Vice President, Global Software Strategy.
After STMicroelectronics, Mike served as President of Digital 5, a venture backed software provider enabling streaming media content within the connected home, and later became President of OpenPeak, a provider of software for home media control. Mike is a graduate of Purdue University with a degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering.

Movie review: HBO's Andre the Giant documentary stands tall
The filmmakers behind this HBO documentary, which begins airing on April 10 at 10 p.m. (ET), really wanted to get the story right. But it's about professional wrestling, and one of its major stars. Wrestling is a sport that, while featuring remarkable athletes performing astounding feats — just about all of them carefully choreographed — is brimming with mythology, with tales about those performers that could never be true.
Andre the Giant was a prime example. There were all sorts of legends surrounding him: His height, his weight, how much he ate, how much he drank (and we're talking about liquor). The filmmakers wanted to find their way past all of that, and get to the real man, to Andre Roussimoff, the French athlete whose size was due to a medical condition called acromegaly, which made him grow in irregular spurts throughout his life.
They begin the film with a small fact, but one that sets them on the right path. During his reign as "The Eighth Wonder of the World" in the 1980s, Andre the Giant was said to have hailed from Grenoble, France. Not in this film; here we get the real story, that he was from the small village of Molien, France.
Told in chronological order, from his childhood till his death in 1993 at age 46, the film presents a mix of in-ring wrestling action and a cavalcade of interviews with people who knew him. We meet his brothers — Antoine and Jacques — who talk about him being normal-sized till he was about 15, when his body began to change. We hear audio of Andre recalling playing soccer and rugby as a boy, then being turned on to wrestling by his rugby pals.
And via many different people, we get a brief history of the wrestling scene in North America when he first made it over here, as well as collections of different ring names and heights.
In his earliest wrestling days, he was Le Géant Ferré. In an interview, he bills himself as being 7-foot-1 and 376 pounds. Later he was called Monster Roussimoff, and, according to announcers, had grown to 7-foot-4 and 376 pounds. Names moved on to The Polish Giant, The Giant Frenchman, and finally Andre the Giant, even as weights grew to 390 and 415 and 507 pounds, with his height remaining at 7-foot-4.
Some will find the most enjoyable parts of the film to be the clips from Andre's matches, where he was usually in "handicap" situations, fighting off two or three smaller (everyone was smaller) wrestlers, or in battle royals, taking on 20 or so grapplers. But of even more interest are the interviews. Vince McMahon talks about when his father — Vince, Sr. — first met Andre and helped turn him into a star. Hulk Hogan tells of still being in junior high when first seeing Andre. "I was hooked," he says. Ric Flair, smiling when he recalls it, says, "I was with him one night when he drank 106 beers."
There are also clips of Andre working in other areas of show business. We see his embarrassing appearance as a Sasquatch on "The Six Million Dollar Man," and a couple of delightful scenes of — and stories behind — him playing Fezzik in "The Princess Bride."
The film regularly points out the big man's big smile and great sense of humor, but doesn't shy away from the fact that he led a difficult life. He was an icon in the wrestling world, which meant constant travel and physical exertion. Think for a moment about how uncomfortable he must have been when it came to chairs and beds and airplane bathrooms that were designed for "normal" people.
Though the film eventually turns dark, focusing on Andre finding himself in constant pain, it never stops celebrating him, or making it clear that everyone talking about him is doing it with reverence. It all leads up to some footage and some surprising drama at Wrestlemania 3, the 1987 event at which Andre pretty much passed the torch to Hulk Hogan as the next big star. There's a sad ending to Andre's story, but that story is an amazing one.

My daughters always have fun selling Girl Scout cookies – who can resist two enthusiastic, cute kids? I'm impressed that they sold 58 boxes each. But above all, I'm impressed that my younger daughter never complains that she can't eat Girl Scout cookies, because they're not gluten-free. This year, we decided to make our own gluten-free version of Tagalongs, or Peanut Butter Patties, so all of us could enjoy them.
Tagalongs were one of the girls' top sellers this year – behind Thin Mints, of course. Tagalongs are a rich treat: a shortbread cookie topped with a peanut butter layer and enrobed in chocolate. Last year, we made gluten-free Thin Mints, so this year we decided to tackle Tagalongs. It's a labor-intensive process — first you make the shortbread cookie dough and chill it, then bake the cookies, prepare the peanut butter topping, dip it all in melted chocolate and let it cool — but the results are worth the hassle.
My 10-year-old, who can eat gluten and who has quite a discerning palate, dubbed our homemade gluten-free Tagalongs better than the real deal. "The peanut butter is more peanut buttery, and the chocolate is more chocolaty," she declared. My mother-in-law agreed.
On a side note, my friend Melissa (Hi, Melissa!) was upset that the cookies are called Tagalongs instead of Peanut Butter Patties. Apparently, there are two companies that bake Girl Scout cookies, and Little Brownie Bakers calls them Tagalongs, while ABC Bakers calls them Peanut Butter Patties. Glad we resolved that mystery. Next year, maybe we'll tackle making a gluten-free Samoa!
Update 3/27/12: If you have leftover peanut butter mixture, use it to make mini gluten-free peanut butter cups, like mini Reese's cups. See recipe for Homemade Peanut Butter Cups.
Gluten-Free Tagalongs, or Peanut Butter Patties
(gluten-free, dairy)
By Gluten-Free Nosh
Printable recipe
Gluten-Free Shortbread Cookie
- 1 cup gluten-free flour blend (I used Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Mix)
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- In a large mixing bowl, mix all the ingredients for two minutes, until the mixture clumps together in a ball.
- Shape dough into an evenly rolled log that's 1½ inches in diameter. Wrap log in waxed paper and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Slice the log of dough into circles that are ¼-inch thick. Place dough circles on parchment paper, about one to two inches apart. Bake cookies for 15 minutes, until lightly golden brown on edges. Cool.
Yield: About 30 cookies
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1½ cups creamy peanut butter (I used processed peanut butter, not natural peanut butter)
- 1¼ cups powdered sugar
- Pinch salt
- In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Use your hands to roll peanut butter mixture into ¾-inch balls; roll balls quickly so your hands don't get sticky. Flatten the balls into discs, using the palms of your hands.
- Place peanut butter discs on top of shortbread cookies, pressing ever so slightly, so the peanut butter layer sticks to the cookies.
Milk Chocolate Topping
- 4 cups (23 ounces) milk chocolate chips (milk chocolate chips work better than semisweet chips here)
- Place milk chocolate chips in a large bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute on half-power (such as power level 5). Stir chocolate thoroughly. If not melted, pop bowl in the microwave for subsequent 30-second intervals, stirring until chocolate is melted.
- Use a fork to lower a peanut-butter-topped cookie into the melted chocolate. Spoon chocolate over top of cookie. Gently scrape the bottom of the fork against the side of the bowl to get off excess chocolate. Transfer chocolate-coated cookie to parchment paper and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Yield: About 30 chocolate-covered peanut butter patties

He may act like a tough dad and sound like a tough dad, but Surviving Jack star Christopher Meloni wants to make it very clear: his character's bark is far worse than his bite.
"Jack is never mean. He's not a mean-spirited guy," Meloni tells TVGuide.com of his new TV alter ego, husband and strict father of two Jack Dunlevy. "Everyone's antenna is always up for anything that maybe smacks of him being mean."
Series co-creator and executive producer Justin Halpern seconds this sentiment: "He's not insulting his kids. He's just very honest and that can sometimes come off harsh."
Spring TV 2014: Must-watch new shows
After all, it's Halpern, not father, who would know best. Surviving Jack, premiering Thursday at 9:30/8:30c on Fox, is a semi-autobiographical comedy based on Halpern and his siblings' teenage years under the watchful of their father after their mother decided to go back to law school. "Suddenly my dad took over. He just cut back his hours and started to do all the things my mom used to do," he says. "It was right when I was kind of figuring out who I was and going through puberty and figuring out girls, so it was the worst possible time for my dad to be watching over me."
Halpern was inspired to try to write a TV series based on his own life when he realized how much one chapter in particular from his second book, I Suck at Girls, resonated with friends and fans. "The chapter where I steal porn from a homeless guy's stash," he recalls. "When I went on my book tour — that one stuck out. Everyone had their story of finding pornography for the first time."
However, Halpern admits he had mixed feelings about trying to bring his larger-than-life father to the small screen (again). "Obviously after the last time we had done it, I wanted to make sure that we weren't just passing something out there that was going to turn out like sh--," Halpern says.
No, that's just not just colorful language Halpern throws around — he literally means sh--, as in the short-lived 2010 CBS sitcom $#*! My Dad Says, based on Halpern's Twitter feed and the book of the same name. "Things move so fast and you lose track of what you're trying to accomplish and what the tone of the show is and what the character should sound like. That first time I didn't have enough experience to sit and say, 'Nope, this is what we need to be doing,' and so it was really just on me that it turned out the way that it did," he says. "So with this one, I was like, 'Alright, we're going to sit and focus and make sure this character is represented in the way that we want.'"
This time around, Halpern says it was key that Jack Dunlevy be portrayed less as a "grumpy dad" but as someone with a little more heart and a lot more brains. "I just think he's tough, not to prove a point or anything, but I just think it's how he was brought up and his experiences," Meloni says of the character. "He's a doctor, so I think he's very clinical, very survival-of-the-fittest, survival-of-the-smartest."
Adds Halpern: "He's an incredibly smart guy who drops F-bombs."
Most memorable TV character replacements
This dichotomy made it difficult to cast the part of Jack. "The thing about my dad is that he's really intimidating without trying to be intimidating and a lot of the actors didn't have that," Halpern says. "Chris has that thing. Look at the types of people that he's played."
Although Halpern and his team were told initially that the actor, who ended his 12-year-run as Det. Elliot Stabler on Law & Order: SVUin 2011, was not looking to return to TV, Meloni eventually read the script and was immediately intrigued. "The most appealing thing was his lack of political correctness. I really found that refreshing. I knew it would be fun to play," Meloni says. "I was open to whatever made me just connect to the material, and this one got me."
A father of two in real life, the Emmy-nominated actor also responded to Jack's touching relationship with his wife, played by Rachael Harris. "That is the relationship in which you get to see into the true inner Jack, which is how deeply he loves his family and in particular his wife. He needs his wife, as tough and independent as he is, and as sure of himself as he is, it's almost a child-like quality — his devotion for his wife," Meloni says. "It helps soften him."
Although this may take off some of Jack's edge, Meloni says these relationships will help the show strike a chord with viewers. Halpern agrees. "The most important thing is that they think its funny, but secondly, it'd be nice if people watch the show, and it triggers their own memories about growing up," he says.
So far, Surviving Jack has at least one important fan — Halpern's father. "As you can imagine he doesn't sugarcoat anything," Halpern says. "I showed him three [episodes] and he was like, 'I actually enjoy this,' which is about as high of praise that you can get."
Surviving Jack premieres Thursday at 9:30/8:30c on Fox.

Regular readers will remember that I predicted that China would be using 247 quads by 2030, far more than the Department of Energy's forecast of 163 quads. Is it possible they will be using even more than my pessimistic prediction?
"Data from China's National Bureau of Statistics show the total energy consumed in China in 2011 (including 3.48 billion tons standard coal) increasing by 7 percent year-on-year. Experts estimate that the growth rate of energy consumption in 2012 will drop below 5 percent, hitting a 10-year low since 2002. Meanwhile, coal imports have increased by 60 percent to 290 million tons in 2012."
The U.S. DOE's International Energy Outlook for 2011 (they canceled their 2012 edition) predicted an average annual growth rate for China's energy consumption at 2.3% through 2035.
If China continues to increase energy consumption at 7% annually, by 2030 their consumption could reach 316 quads.
India's growth in energy consumption has averaged 8% per year for the past decade–the DOE predicted their growth would be slower than China's. If they continue at their present pace they will reach 237 quads by 2030.
The two countries alone will consume more energy than the entire world did in 2012.
Forget toys, Lenovo computers and iPhones from China. And forget willing call center workers and Bollywood films from India. What they will be offering the world for the next few decades consists of pollution, black soot to float up to the Arctic and growing amounts of CO2.
I don't blame them a bit for what they're doing. I do hope they do it fast enough so their leaders can become as conscious of environmental impacts as some in the developed world. Many of their citizens already are–some have even moved ahead of the West in environmental consciousness.
I do blame us for ignoring what's happening. If we're not careful we'll hit the 3,000 quad barrier before 2075. And it will be coming (mostly) from coal.
Look, people–I understand that the fight on climate change has real reasons behind it. I feel fairly certain that some activists have wildly exaggerated what they claim climate has already done due to global warming. I have come to believe that atmospheric sensitivity is lower than some activists claim.
But really–are we going to ignore the coal that India and China will burn to generate more energy than the entire world consumed this year?

Aravind Adiga tonight won the Man Booker Prize for Fiction for his first novel, The White Tiger, which the New Yorker described as a "darkly comic début novel set in India" about a chauffeur who "murders his employer, justifying his crime as the act of a 'social entrepreneur.'" The White Tiger won praise from some American and English reviewers, but the Indian novelist and critic Manjula Padmanabhan of the New Delhi-based Outlook India called it "a tedious, unfunny slog." You'll find links to that review and others over at the Complete Review, which gave the novel an overall B-minute rating www.complete-review.com/reviews/india/adigaa.htm. If you want just the hype, you'll find it at the Man Booker site www.themanbookerprize.com.

I can stay in bed all weekend if my partner knows how to handle it. I love the practices of libertinism. I've always been a woman who loves swinging and especially enjoying sex in libertine clubs. I get excited when men look at me while I'm touching myself in a public place like a bathroom. If you would like to get to know me better, let me know.

Today's News: Our Take - The Group's Rocky Reunion with Andrea and 7 Other Walking Dead Spoilers
With only seven episodes before The Walking Dead comes to what's expected to be an epic Season 3 finale, the war between the prison group and Woodbury is ramping up in a big way.
Walking Dead Postmortem: Can both Rick and the Governor survive Season 3?
As Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is descending into madness, the rest of his group will need to take steps to ensure their safety, which is made more difficult since Daryl (Norman Reedus) decided to leave with his brother Merle (Michael Rooker), Rick kicked out Tyreese's (Chad Coleman) group and he wants Michonne (Danai Gurira) gone. Can the prison really survive an assault from Woodbury in this state? TVGuide.com caught up with the cast of the AMC series to get the scoop on what's in store for the final few episodes. Check it out:
Rick's gone crazy: Rick has a ways to go before he hits rock bottom, which will make for an interesting ultimate face-to-face with the Governor, who is also going down a destructive path following the death of his zombie daughter. "Let's have a crazy-off!" Lincoln jokes. "A lot of the back half of the season is the struggle between two ideologies and two men, but also a struggle for Rick's sanity. He's probably at his lowest ever."
The Governor is out for blood: Rick & Co. have now led two assaults on Woodbury, so expect the Governor (David Morrissey) to retaliate - and soon! "He's a man who's really angry and wants vengeance," Morrissey says. "He's got quite a nihilistic approach at the moment. It'll be about whether he'll listen to the voices of reason in his community, people like Andrea and Milton."
VIDEO: The Walking Dead's David Morrissey on the Governor's quest for revenge
Daryl and Merle are on the road again: Daryl may come to regret his decision to leave the group with Merle, but their departure will shed light on the Dixon brothers' past. "Daryl reverts back to being younger brother," Reedus says. "Then again, Daryl's chest is puffed up quite a bit. He's a new guy, he's a tougher guy and he cares about people. I don't think he cared about people before, so there's definitely a conflict there."
Is Michonne part of the group now? Realizing that she needs a community to be a part of, Michonne will work hard to prove that she should stay with Rick & Co. - and because they need the numbers, it may not be too hard for her to do that. "It is quite a process for people, in a world this hostile, for people to get to know her," Gurira says. "When you show your skills, you show what side you're on." But whether she could ever let Andrea back in is another story. "It doesn't matter what the circumstances, [they] will always deeply be affected by each other," she says.
Is Rick becoming the Governor? "We wanted to hold up a mirror that this could've been Rick maybe two to three months down the line with a civilization like Woodbury," Lincoln says. "Rick and his family have been moving around hand to mouth and haven't had time to digest the grief and the shock and the horror of the situation. So what's possibly happened in Woodbury is that they've had time to sit with it, and that's had a detrimental effect on some of the characters."
Can the group trust Andrea? Despite a long separation, the group won't be pleased with Andrea's (Laurie Holden) arrival to the prison in an upcoming episode. "I don't trust her one bit!" Lincoln says. "She's been sleeping with a psycho!" Holden adds that it won't be the happiest of episodes when she does finally reunite with the group. "Yes, she befriended The Governor, but she was never actively trying to kill the group," Holden says. "That's not who Andrea is. It's a misunderstanding and their misconception of a situation. They assume she's bad now. Unfortunately, she pays a price for being in the dark."
Walking Dead's Glen Mazzara previews upcoming war; discusses his exit
Glenn's on a path for vengeance: After Glenn (Steven Yeun) was tortured and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) was nearly raped by the Governor, Glenn will be on the warpath, which could cloud his judgment in the back half of the season. "I think that's exactly the trend you're seeing," Yeun says. "For him, he just wants to exact revenge, whether people get pushed to the wayside in lieu of that or not. You see his myopic view of revenge, and he continues to victimize Maggie in a way because he thinks he knows what's good for her when he doesn't. It could be a division and fissure in between the two of them."
Andrea's caught in the middle: Just because she reunites with her group, doesn't mean she's chosen a side. "It's never about choosing sides, because when she sees the Governor for who he is, she's not going to be with him," Holden says. "She's smarter than that. Rick and the group are her family and she was conned. She's caught in an impossible situation where she doesn't want anyone to die and people do try to force her to take sides."
Do you think the group can trust Andrea?
The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9/8c on AMC.

A little more than a year ago, thanks to the wonders of the web, I stumbled upon my father's name in a college honors thesis. In 2001 Amy Katherine Defalco Lippert, then at the University of California at Berkeley, submitted an honors thesis for her bachelor's degree in history titled "The Rationalization of Righteousness: Nazi Ideology, the Holocaust and the African-American Community in World War II."
On page 94, she wrote:
"From the very beginning, black leaders, writers and educators worked to foster an understanding of the Second World War as a fight for their country and a fight for freedom—for their own, as African Americans, and for others as well.
"As Ebenezer Ray wrote in June of 1940, 'It is a war of liberty versus enslavement. Of course, here and there comes a voice from this race of ours that the war isn't America's, 'least of all it is the Negro's.'… Methinks this is America's war, since it is a war for liberty and freedom, and against racial and religious intolerance. If it is America's it is the Negro's. What's true of the whole is also true of the part.'"
In the footnotes: Ebenezer Ray, "The War 'N' Us!" New York Age, 15 June 1940, p. 12.
And the rest, as they say, is history, or at least this blog.
Here is the full column. Happy Memorial Day and thank you, Professor Lippert.
